Modelling an ecosystem: The example of agro-ecosystems

Ecological Modelling, 2011
Abstract Methods to predict ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions, including options for mitigation and management, are vital for scientists and policy makers. We propose that modelling ecosystems by grouping species into trophic-functional types has great utility, because it is potentially generic and applicable to any ecosystem ...

Accelerating the development of an information ecosystem in health care, by stimulating the growth of safe intermediate processing of health information (IPHI)

Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics, 2013
Health care, in common with many other industries, is generating large amounts of routine data, data that are challenging to process, analyse or curate, so-called ‘big data’. A challenge for health informatics is to make sense of these data.
